ohhhhh baby......

Having lived in the bay area, I'm really looking forward to being singularly responsable for riots that are the 'stuff of legend'....

(I like the bay area, I just want to go apeshit every once in a while without anyone getting hurt for reals...)

:lol: Tell me that when the DS plays 2 hrs worth of DVD, and 9 hours worth of music.

Oh yeah, and when it has good games.

Don't gemme wrong. I'm a big fan of the GBSP, but move over...PSP is comin in!

I mean...have you seen the SIZE of the thing? I really hope they do slim it down...

If your gonna commit crime, go do it in real life and you'll see how not funny it is.

This isn't Raysia's little topic, Cuneo. This is a game. Sometimes, I like to kill virtual people. Is that a problem? Watching pixels die and hearing my speakers scream of their pain?

I think that's much better than killing in real life, no?

SA = San Andreas

It's a STATE, not a city like vice city was. The game is massive....three cities (based on Vegas, LA, and San Francisco) with all the country side and/or desert in between. There will be things like house robberies, kick-ass new graphics, rag-doll physics, a stamina bar that makes you eat to stay alive, and indoor locations.

Also, with the whole eating thing, if you eat too much fast food, your character gets fat, and it shows it. He looks fat, he's slower, has less endurance, and gets called a "fat bastard" by people. Lol. You have to go to the gym to work him out.

It's going to be fucking awsome and set in the 1990's....bloods vs. crips style.

Your right, real crime and violence is not funny. That's why we do it in a video game. In a video game it is damned funny.

Lighten up.

I just read the Game Informer article. It's nice to see the developers admit they screwed up by not having any hills in VC.

As far as I understand it, this will satisfy the last of the PS2 exclusive contract for Rockstar. I'm sure that a year later or whenever that agreement is up then it will come out for the XBox, and probably look better (much to my regret. I am devoutly not an XBox person, but if they don't get a good online racer out for the PS 2 and fast, I'm going to have change that....)

I can't get into Halo.

*points and laughs*

XBarge...you dork :lol:

Haha...actually...it will probably come out for the big ol' box 1 or 2 years after it comes out for PS2.

And yeah...I played Halo...kick ass game...when 2 comes out I might just have to big up a mean green machine just to play it. Lol...get an XBarge for 2 games...Halo and Halo 2

See, here's my concern:

It always looks amazing. But in 2 they did away with qualifing and while it was back in 3, 3 lost the ability to race modify and the Muscle Cars (I am a sports car man, but the funnest car for me in GT2 was my purple 67 Cougar...)

And the 2 player is ALWAYS weak. The link mode in 3 doesn't even allow you to use your garage.

If the online play is weak, I might have to smash the box with my foot...I want to race my set up car against other people who are as into the game as much as me, and thats hard to find around me.

I'm also worried about door-slammers and wall-bangers. I want to race against racers, not punks. I don't know that this can really be achieved, but it'd be nice.

One of the things I thought would be cool is if you did qualifying runs once on each track (that you could later retry) that would determine starting position and be one of the criteria for race entry. (you have to be in a certain bracket, etc...)

Endurance races online would be badass but I know as soon as someone starts to loose they'll either bail out or go spoiler.

I'm excited and sceptical all at once.

I have mixed feelings about Mafia, I bought it for Xbox. I played it for a few days and just got bored. It has really irritating on foot controls.

Alright, so PSP has the graphical capability of the PS2, the ability to play movies (Like Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) and naturally a better game lineup. (Sony kicks Nintendo's ass)

From what you're saying, and from what I've seen, the DS has...N64-like graphics? What else? Two screens? :roll:

The choice is obvious

Okay, I'm guessing Butterfly's talking in sarcasm. Hard to tell over text.

And YOU are in denial! Obviously, the PSP is waaaay better than the DS, and the PSP hasn't been released yet!
